Mini EV Charging Cables

The Cooper Electric, Aceman and Countryman Electric all charge on the universal Type 2 (Mode 3) connector, and none of them draw more than 11kW on AC, so a 7kW lead is the sensible default for home use on a single-phase supply. Older Mini plug-in hybrids may be Type 1, so check whether your charge port is round 7-pin or square 5-pin before ordering.

Which Mini?

We'll preselect the variant that fits.

We read your charge port, max AC rate and phase from DVLA data, then take you to the exact variant.

Choosing the right cable for your Mini

Mini's electric range: the new Cooper Electric (J01), Cooper SE (F56, discontinued), Aceman and Countryman Electric, uses Type 2 AC + CCS DC universally. Mini sits squarely in the BMW Group ecosystem, sharing platforms with BMW i-models. Compatibility is straightforward; the disambiguation is "Mini" the brand vs "mini" the size descriptor in product listings.

Connector spec by model

  • Cooper Electric (J01, 2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 95kW DC peak.
  • Cooper SE (F56, 2020-2023): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 50kW DC peak.
  • Aceman (2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 95kW DC.
  • Countryman Electric (U25, 2024+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 130kW DC.

AC charging speed at home

Every Mini EV caps at 11kW AC: same as BMW. So:

  • 11kW three-phase: ~45 miles/hour. 50kWh battery (Cooper Electric) refills 10-100% in ~4 hours.
  • 7.4kW single-phase: ~25-30 miles/hour. Same battery overnight in 6 hours.

Length recommendations

Mini charge ports are at the rear-right on the new J01 Cooper Electric, Aceman and Countryman. F56 Cooper SE was rear-right too. UK driveways: 5m for tight layouts, 7.5m or 10m for typical setups. The shorter cable lengths suit Mini's small footprint: you rarely need more than 7.5m.

Smart-tariff integration

BMW/Mini's Connected app handles basic scheduling. For Octopus Intelligent or similar dynamic tariffs, pair with a smart wallbox, Ohme for the deepest dynamic-pricing integration; MyEnergi Zappi for solar-PV homes; Hypervolt for design + tariff balance.

What we stock for Mini

"Mini" naming disambiguation

This page is for Mini the BMW-owned car brand. If you've searched for "mini" because you're looking for a small or compact charger, see granny chargers (the smallest Mode 2 portable units) or EO Mini Pro 3 (the smallest UK home wallbox by footprint, despite being a different brand).

Questions

Will this cable work with my Mini?
Every current UK Mini EV uses Type 2 (Mode 3). Older Mini hybrids or pre-2018 EVs may use Type 1, check your charge port: hexagonal 7-pin = Type 2, square 5-pin = Type 1.
What length cable should I get for my Mini?
10m suits most UK home setups. 5m if your wallbox is right next to where you park. 15-25m for awkward driveway layouts.
What rating? 7kW or 22kW?
Match to your wallbox. UK home wallboxes are mostly 7kW (32A single-phase). 22kW only relevant if you have a three-phase supply.
Do you sell granny cables for this car?
Yes: see our granny chargers range. Mode 2 portable cables work with all current Mini EVs.
